Lizzie Cundy faced embarrassment recently after being denied entry to Royal Ascot due to her bold attire. The former WAG attended the prestigious event in a cream midi-dress featuring cut-outs, complemented by white heels, a large fascinator, and a YSL clutch bag.
Although she claimed her outfit was not transparent, organizers reprimanded the 58-year-old for not complying with the strict dress code. A source disclosed that despite her previous disregard for the guidelines, this incident left her feeling humiliated.
According to reports, Lizzie felt mortified as she was not welcomed to join the other celebrity guests for photos at the event. It was highlighted that while she enjoys making a statement with her fashion choices, her past see-through dress controversy had not been forgotten by the organizers.
In a statement to the media, Lizzie acknowledged receiving criticism but defended her outfit’s modesty compared to her previous ensembles. However, during an appearance on Good Morning Britain, she maintained that her dress adhered to the regulations set by the event.
Expressing her views on the incident, Lizzie emphasized that the fashion aspect of the races is significant and should be seen as a form of entertainment. She advocated for periodic updates to the Ascot dress code to reflect evolving fashion trends.
Royal Ascot, known for attracting various celebrities, witnessed the presence of notable personalities like Kate Middleton, Holly Willoughby, Maura Higgins, and Charlotte Hawkins this year. Georgia Toffolo also generated excitement with her choice of a floral “cloth of gold” dress for the event.
The event enforces a strict dress code, particularly in the Royal Enclosure, requiring women to wear knee-length or longer dresses or skirts and hats, with specific guidelines on shoulder straps. Men are expected to wear a black or grey top hat with full morning dress.
